Originally, the two beds were quite close. However, as Gu Qingtong unconsciously shifted during her sleep, she gradually moved over from her own bed to Yan Chi’s. Her entire body ended up pressing against the loosely draped blanket on Yan Chi’s bed.
Even separated by a bedsheet, she instinctively followed Yan Chi’s warmth and the unobstructed breath, leaning towards the uncovered upper body.
All of this was also captured by the wide audience watching the live broadcast. Initially, the production team had just announced that the live stream would end once all the guests went to sleep. The broadcast would resume tomorrow morning when everyone woke up to continue documenting the heart rate situation on the island.
Considering that Silent Gaze hadn’t appeared for a long time, many solo and ship fans assumed that they had already retired for the night and left early. It was evident that Silent Gaze was the central focus of attention in “Love Game.”
The live stream’s popularity took a considerable hit due to this unexpected turn of events. Who would have thought that just before the end, such a surprising scene would unfold!
[Wow, fortunately, I stayed to lurk for Silent Gaze. There’s even sweeter content coming up!]
[Ah ah ah?! How did she end up in Teacher Yan’s arms? Is this something I can watch for free? Is Tongtong awake right now?!]
[If she’s awake, it means Tong Mei is actively sticking close. If she’s asleep, it means she’s relying on Teacher Yan even in her dreams! No matter how you explain it, it’s so sweet!]
The barrage of comments was in complete chaos. Viewers were intensely focused on the screen, eagerly awaiting Yan Chi’s reaction, and the barrage was filled with screams of excitement.
Although many viewers of romance reality shows were seasoned veterans, having seen countless dramatic moments, they never expected to witness such a scene in a show that was knowingly filled with staged CP1Couple Pairing relationships.
Especially since almost everyone could see that Gu Qingtong was sleeping soundly, curling herself into a small ball, nestled in Yan Chi’s embrace. Although her expression couldn’t be seen, it seemed like her small head radiated a sense of docile satisfaction. That genuine act of leaning and finding comfort seemed to touch the softest spots in everyone’s hearts with just a small gesture, surpassing a thousand words.
Everyone could witness Yan Chi slowly opening her eyes and looking into Qingtong’s eyes. In those light-colored, calm eyes, there was no surprise; instead, a hint of helplessness and indulgence flashed through.
[This look?! Isn’t it the first time?! The program team must have a legion of fans begging to see the previous sleeping recordings!]
[I reasonably suspect that Tong Mei is not used to sleeping alone, so she unconsciously hugs something when she falls asleep, right?]
The barrage was filled with anticipation as everyone anxiously waited to see if Yan Chi would accept the embrace from Qingtong, who had embraced her in her sleep. The result was Yan Chi extending an arm from the blanket, gently pushing Gu Qingtong to the side – the intention was to free the blanket that had been pressed down by her.
Yan Chi had experimented before; even if she pushed her back to the original position, after sleeping for a while, Qingtong would voluntarily stick back to her. If she was repeatedly rejected, she would even hum and whine as if vowing not to give up until she felt Yan Chi’s breath around her. Since they were already captured by the cameras, there was no harm in letting Qingtong sleep in her embrace. After all, how many boundary-pushing acts had they done under the rules of this episode’s heartbeat value?
So, Yan Chi’s original intention was to pull the blanket out to cover Gu Qingtong as well, to prevent her from getting cold. However, as soon as the sleeping Gu Qingtong was uncovered, her small face immediately wrinkled, as if sensing some tremendous grievance.
She uttered a vague murmur that seemed to be a mix of dreams and wakefulness: “Wa…want big sister…”
Yan Chi’s movements paused for a moment due to this sudden sleep-talk. Through the dim light, she looked at the face so close to hers. Calling her big sister was not going to help; now the whole world knew. When she found out about this later, wouldn’t her eyes turn red with embarrassment?
Although the words were unclear, the tone was tender and full of grievances. Yet, the two words “big sister” carried a hint of coquetry and affection, instantly heard by the live audience. This unconscious sleep-talk, compared to the previous initiative of snuggling into her arms, stirred even greater waves.
[She’s definitely calling Teacher Yan big sister! Who can resist the phrase ‘want big sister’?! Teacher Yan, quickly embrace her and don’t push her away anymore!]
[Being so respectful to Teacher Yan during the day, but calling her big sister in bed. What do you guys understand, hehehe.]
[Don’t treat us as outsiders. Don’t talk about just a hug; even if Teacher Yan explosively promotes Tongtong now, I completely understand. Who can resist this awakened Tong Mei?!]
The various performances of the two almost overturned the cabinet door in this episode. However, due to the tasks and rules of the “heart rate” game, everyone was left speechless and could only wildly speculate on whether this fell into the category of “forced business.” In the end, they could only draw one conclusion: why agonize over so much when the main course is being served right to your mouth? Just enjoy it!
Yan Chi’s gaze finally softened as she stared at Gu Qingtong, accompanied by a casual “be good.” She extended one arm to comfort her for a moment. The other hand quickly lifted the blanket and covered her. It was only then that everyone realized Yan Chi wasn’t rejecting Qingtong’s unintentional closeness; she was just adjusting the blanket, afraid that Gu Qingtong might catch a cold.
She was even more meticulous than when covering herself, leaving only Qingtong’s small head exposed from the blanket. Her hand reached across Qingtong to tuck in the corner of the blanket. This immediately cut off the curious gazes and gossip from the live broadcast. The audience sighed collectively, almost despairing:
[Wuwuwu, why did she cover it up? We can’t see anything now!]
[Judging by the shape of the blanket, it seems Tongtong has taken advantage and nestled into Teacher Yan’s embrace again.]
[It’s okay, at least they’re finally sharing a blanket. I’m willing to sacrifice a bit for their lifelong happiness, and overall, we’re not losing out, right?]
Gu Qingtong had no idea about these comments. She was finally embraced by Yan Chi and, even in her dreams, happily lifted the corners of her mouth. Before long, the others returned to the tent, but only Chu Yu and Yun Mingxuan were present. Bai Jin was taken away temporarily by the directing team, and the reason was unknown. It was heard that the recording for the next episode couldn’t continue tomorrow.
Yun Mingxuan, seeing her former teammate CP leaving, felt no emotional fluctuations, but on the surface, she naturally had to pretend to care. However, the usually easygoing production team now had a serious atmosphere, appearing particularly unwelcoming, leaving Yun Mingxuan feeling rebuffed.
When Yun Mingxuan reluctantly returned to the tent with Chu Yu, they were met with the scene of Gu Qingtong and Yan Chi, lying particularly close under a blanket, almost snuggling together.
Chu Yu, unfazed, quickly averted her eyes, as if she hadn’t seen anything at all.
“What… what is this?!” Yun Mingxuan exclaimed.
“Don’t make a fuss about nothing,” Chu Yu sneered. In the past, she had seen the two in even more intimate sleeping arrangements. Now, this kind of sleeping together was nothing special.
❖❖❖❖❖
Late at night, all the guests were immersed in sleep inside their tents. Since sleeping was considered private, both the livestream and recording had already been stopped. After all, there was no insanity to the extent of preventing sleep.
However, Gu Qingtong slowly opened her eyes in the dark night. Obviously, she had fallen asleep earlier than the other guests and was now wide awake. Initially, she found herself in Yan Chi’s embrace, and it seemed quite ordinary to her. After all, whenever she spent the night with Yan Chi in the past, she usually woke up in her embrace the next morning.
But when she looked around, especially when she noticed the closed cameras, she realized that she was currently part of a reality show!
The sight of herself and Yan Chi, embracing and sleeping in the same blanket…
Was it captured by the cameras?! This realization made her face turn pale.
Gu Qingtong desperately tried to recall and finally remembered that she had been exceptionally obedient, sleeping in her own bed before. She had no idea about the behavior of willingly snuggling into Yan Chi’s embrace after falling asleep.
Taking it for granted, she thought it was always Yan Chi who took the initiative to hold her in her sleep. How could Yan Chi…
It was one thing to behave like this privately, but doing it on a reality show, knowing there were cameras, left Gu Qingtong feeling extremely embarrassed.
Thinking about the worst-case scenario, even if both of them were captured by the cameras now, what did she have to fear? Gu Qingtong stared at Yan Chi in a huff, determined to retaliate.
Her eyes flickered as she suddenly remembered the incident when Yan Chi pinched her during the live broadcast, almost causing her to lose her composure.
So, with her hand originally curled in front of her, she reached out towards Yan Chi. In the next instant, her hand touched Yan Chi’s slender waist.
Although separated by clothing fabric, Gu Qingtong, somehow captivated by the warmth and perfect curves, found her mind entranced. Taking a deep breath, she couldn’t resist lifting Yan Chi’s hem, slipping her fingers in, gently covering that smooth skin.
At that moment, however, Gu Qingtong’s wrist felt a sudden restraint. Startled and unable to make any big movements in the blanket to avoid waking others, she could only raise her head.
In the dim light, she met a pair of eyes with a hint of dominance.
The gaze between the two intertwined, and Gu Qingtong sensed the imminent danger. Since the subtle touch in the forest, the flames of their complicated relationship had not only not diminished but had intensified.
In this isolated island full of cameras, perhaps only in the places where everything was covered by silence, could the two find a momentary space for themselves. Gu Qingtong looked around, noticing that Yun Mingxuan and Chu Yu seemed to have refrained from intervening, probably finding their intimacy too close for comfort.
Their sleeping arrangements were quite distant, with some separation in the middle. Despite this, Gu Qingtong was still extremely nervous and shook her head at Yan Chi.
“But, didn’t you want it, Tongtong? How can you arbitrarily back off when you want it yourself? Now that you don’t need it, you’re pushing me away?”
Yan Chi suddenly spoke, startling Gu Qingtong. However, the voice was hushed, audible only to the two of them.
Despite this, Gu Qingtong specifically paid attention to the situation over there, making sure everything was fine before easing up. Seemingly dissatisfied with Gu Qingtong’s distraction, Yan Chi’s hand, which held Gu Qingtong’s wrist, tightened slightly, causing the latter to glance over timidly.
“It’s fine. They’re far enough away; they won’t notice. Besides, your hand is still in my clothes. If you wake me up without properly comforting me, I might get angry” Yan Chi used a mix of persuasion and coercion.
Gu Qingtong, already lacking in determination, coupled with the recent failure to eat properly, found herself agreeing almost involuntarily. She couldn’t help but add: “Don’t make too much noise.”
Feeling the potential for an embrace, Gu Qingtong sensed Yan Chi’s hand on her body applying gentle pressure. Her waist involuntarily arched, causing one part to brush against another in a soft, subtle motion.
That was…Yan Chi’s…
Gu Qingtong now understood the purpose of Yan Chi’s suggestion for her to move forward a bit earlier. It turned out to be an intimate act she had never experienced before. Since private items couldn’t be brought to the island, almost everyone slept in their undergarments. She was still in the strap fairy dress, which was as enchanting as it was above, and Yan Chi was wearing a chest band. In that brief moment of closeness, Gu Qingtong felt a surge of heightened awareness in the front.
It nearly made her shudder, but luckily, she restrained herself. Although there was no sound, she was constantly worried that someone on the other side might be awake and would notice everything. Gu Qingtong was naturally unwilling to stop, and her hand, which was resting on Yan Chi’s body, continued its upward exploration.
As if sensing what she was about to do, Yan Chi did not restrain her wrist this time, letting her proceed. It was indeed that area. Gu Qingtong didn’t even bother going around to the back to unfasten the button. She simply pushed the clothing upward.
As a result, Yan Chi’s already perfect form was subtly pressed, making it even more pronounced.
Only separated by two layers of thin fabric, they pressed together wantonly, creating a soft rustling sound. The pudding and marshmallow continuously jiggled, being devoured by each other. The realization of what was “devouring” her was now a hundred times more intense than before.
Gu Qingtong felt like her adhesive strips had all been peeled away, leaving one exposed area without protection. It was an instant sensation that almost made her emit a sound. Fortunately, she had bitten her lip tightly beforehand, only managing to gasp a few breaths.
Yan Chi was not much better off. She knew too well how soft every part of Gu Qingtong’s body was, and she became entranced. Especially when Gu Qingtong pushed her clothing but didn’t withdraw her hand, Yan Chi was left dumbfounded, not knowing what to do, just standing there in a dazed stupor.
Not only the pudding and marshmallow, but their hair was also entangled. Gu Qingtong could only feel the gauzy skirt being lifted, and their hair squeezing and brushing against each other. To avoid detection, every movement was slow, but this slowness seemed to generate waves of lingering sensations, like continuous waves crashing upon her.
Gu Qingtong was like a small boat lost in the waves, unaware of where she was amidst the sea of sensations.
After an unknown amount of time, Yan Chi withdrew her hair. The eager little wife seemed dissatisfied, even grabbing onto her “tool.”
Despite clearly wanting it, the face outside the blanket turned completely red, but she didn’t say anything.
“Tongtong, don’t you want it? Big sister can teach you, you know.”
Yan Chi’s lips were near her ear, and the warm breath struck her, causing irresistible sensations.
Her breath was somewhat unsteady, seemingly affected by the silent sensations from earlier.
“Teach…..me?”
Before Gu Qingtong could fully react, she felt her hand being pulled by Yan Chi, and they moved together. Sensing where she might be led, Gu Qingtong reflexively felt a bit anxious, attempting to retract her hand.
No, she couldn’t do this. And doing something like this to herself…..It would be too embarrassing!
“Tongtong, If you don’t do it yourself today, no one will help you with it.”
Yan Chi understood that Gu Qingtong must have been feeling quite anxious by now, having endured it since earlier. This was the first time she had held on, expressing a reluctance to part. Yan Chi had long wanted to see how Gu Qingtong would react when guided by her own fingertips, in a state of confusion and enchantment.
Even if she didn’t know anything, Yan Chi could patiently guide her.
Upon hearing Yan Chi’s words, Gu Qingtong knew that once she said something like that, there would be no turning back. She could only give up struggling and let Yan Chi continue guiding her towards that place.
With fabric in between, Yan Chi pressed down on Gu Qingtong’s fingertip and even pressed it firmly. It was indeed her own hand, a distinctly different warmth from Yan Chi’s, which she was so familiar with. Instead of the slight cool touch she used to know.
Thinking about this fact, Gu Qingtong felt too embarrassed. She even instinctively burrowed into the direction of the blanket, reflexively avoiding the gaze of the already closed camera and the nonexistent eyes of others.
Knowing she was feeling embarrassed, Yan Chi deliberately asked: “Is it big sister’s fingers that feel good or Tongtong’s own?”
Although Gu Qingtong had removed her nail polish, her nails were not as regularly trimmed and smooth as Yan Chi’s. In fact, they were a bit long now.
So, Yan Chi held onto her index finger, delicately scraping with that bit of nail at the root. Gu Qingtong had never imagined that just this bit of nail would make her nearly lose her soul. The pain only occupied a tiny, almost negligible part of her senses; what she felt more was warmth and a tingling sensation.
With each scrape, Gu Qingtong’s tummy involuntarily trembled, and her toes curled up completely. Under Yan Chi’s guidance, although Gu Qingtong felt embarrassed and unwilling, she was genuinely captivated by her techniques.
In just a moment, the pure cotton fabric bore a deep and subtle mark.
It was too indulgent.
Yan Chi saw the blush on Gu Qingtong’s face and heard her hurried breathing. She quietly released her hand, no longer forcing her to follow her lead. Little did she know that the next moment, Gu Qingtong also stopped on her own, hastily raising her eyes and colliding with Yan Chi’s gaze.
In her misty and crystalline eyes, there was now only interrupted grievance and helplessness.
“Tongtong…..Tongtong can’t.”
Finally, Yan Chi was defeated again. She grasped Gu Qingtong’s hand once more, guiding her fingers herself. She even used her fingertip to draw circles on top.
As they approached the critical moment, Gu Qingtong, who had been biting her lips, finally relaxed her teeth. Even though her consciousness had begun to drift into a hazy state, she still pleaded with Yan Chi:
“I don’t want myself. Big sister, help send Tongtong up. I only want big sister…”
However, uttering these words was quite challenging for her. As soon as she finished speaking, the almost lost control and fragmented sounds were swallowed back. Falling into Yan Chi’s ears, it seemed more catalytic than anything else.
She knew it, yet willingly succumbed.
Gu Qingtong sensed a familiar sensation.
Yan Chi’s techniques were far superior to hers, as if she inherently knew which areas were unbearable for her, proceeding with urgency and gentleness. It left her unable to predict what the next moment would be like.
For this reason, Gu Qingtong needed to place her entire body and heart in trust with Yan Chi each time, to not be afraid of the unknown. The night continued to be mysterious, concealing countless secrets unknown to anyone.
❖❖❖❖❖
The next day, before the live broadcast started, the production team kept their promise and sent a helicopter to pick up Gu Qingtong and Yan Chi. Although the recording and audio functions of the cameras and monitoring devices were turned off due to the privacy of the guests last night, the heartbeat monitoring was still active. When the production team woke up and saw that the two of them seemed to have awakened in the latter part of the night, with occasional episodes of accelerated heart rates, they couldn’t help but marvel at it.
However, having seen Gu Qingtong falling asleep and somehow ending up in someone else’s embrace, they speculated that the psychological fluctuations resulting from this might be the cause and didn’t think much of it. The heart rate values for the Silent Gaze had accumulated completely, and in keeping with their promise, the production team arrived early in the morning to take them away.
The other guests also knew that the Silent Gaze turned out to be the most natural interaction in the previous episode.
Although they envied that Gu Qingtong and Yan Chi could leave the island, the other guests didn’t say much. Since being criticized by Chu Yu, Yun Mingxuan didn’t dare to say anything and could only watch Gu Qingtong from afar, feeling extremely uncomfortable.
Indeed, even though she claimed to be a fan of Yan Chi, her attention and concern were all focused on Gu Qingtong. Even the label of being a “Yan Chi fan” was borrowed from Gu Qingtong.
On the helicopter, the production team briefly explained the rules for the next stage to the two. With only nine hours left until the confession, they needed to play the role of “trainee couple” during this time. In other words, from this moment on, they would become each other’s “provisional girlfriends.”
The production team had prepared three “provisional girlfriend guides” for each of them. Only by playing the role of a good girlfriend could they uncover the mystery of the confession location.
“Alright, let’s greet our “girlfriends’ first,” Director Bu said with a smile that was far from innocent.
Although Gu Qingtong and Yan Chi were legally married, their most intimate term of address, aside from Gu Qingtong’s drunken declaration of “wife,” was no more than “big sister.” Now, being asked to call each other “girlfriend” felt quite awkward.
“So, Qingtong is now my girlfriend? Then, please take good care of me” Yan Chi said, looking at Gu Qingtong’s hesitant and speechless expression.
Gu Qingtong felt a sudden awkwardness. Why was she so proficient at this! Finally, she managed to speak. Originally intending to say “girlfriend,” for some reason, memories of that drunken night kept coming back to her.
The words Sun Xiao used to introduce Yan Chi were echoing in Gu Qingtong’s mind. Unexpectedly, Gu Qingtong’s brain malfunctioned, and she blurted out: “Then, Teacher Yan is my wife—”
Upon hearing this, everyone present was surprised, except for Yan Chi, who chuckled lightly, evidently recalling the incident when Gu Qingtong was drunk in the parking lot.
Realizing what she had just said, Gu Qingtong was stunned for a moment and almost jumped up, exclaiming: “Ah! Ah! Listen to my explanation! I meant to say girlfriend, sorry for blurting it out in haste!”
It was truly a situation where she couldn’t talk her way out!
“No……Everyone refers to themselves as the wife-fans, right? It’s quite normal!” Gu Qingtong, in a moment of quick thinking, explained.
However, Yan Chi suddenly spoke up: “Oh? Is that so?”
